By Kelly Oliveros Leave a Comment

There are a LOT of changes going on around Disney World right now, particularly as the entire resort prepares for the 50th Anniversary celebrations.

Big Changes are Coming to the Contemporary

Guest rooms at Disney’s Polynesian Village Resort are getting a Moana-themed makeover, Cinderella Castle is getting spruced up, and more changes are being made all over the parks and hotels. Over at Disney’s Contemporary Resort, big changes are on the way for its guest rooms and one of its restaurants too!

We’ve seen construction going on for quite some time at the Contemporary in the hallways and rooms in the Main Tower.

Today we finally got a first look at the reimagined rooms coming to this hotel, which will be themed to the Incredibles.

But the guest rooms aren’t the only things changing at the Contemporary. We had previously shared that The Wave…of American Flavors, a restaurant located on the bottom floor at the Contemporary, would soon be closing for a period of time this summer. Disney’s website notes that they will be refurbishing the space in time for the 50th Anniversary.

Now, we’ve gotten a bit more information about what’s going on over at The Wave. Earlier today, Disney shared that The Wave will soon “close” to “make way for a reimagined dining experience in time for the Walt Disney World 50^th anniversary celebration.”

What will this reimagined dining experience include? Will it incorporate the Incredibles theming that is being added to the guest rooms? Will The Wave’s breakfast buffet return or be available in some form? Disney hasn’t shared details on any of that, but we’ll be on the lookout for more updates.

In the meantime, just be aware that reservations will be available for The Wave through July 15th. After that, this spot will close to be transformed into this “reimagined” dining experience. We’ll be sure to share any updates about this spot with you, so stay tuned for more news from us here at DFB!
